SpaceX Might Be Getting Into Weaponry Now

SpaceX, known for its rockets and Starlink, is reportedly entering a $100 million competition to develop voice-controlled, AI-enabled drone swarms for the U.S. Department of Defense. This move, if confirmed, would mark SpaceX's first venture into weaponry, leveraging its subsidiary xAI, which has received $200 million for integrating its chatbot Grok into military networks. The competition is run by the Defense Innovation Unit and the Defense Autonomous Warfare Group, reflecting the Pentagon's focus on advancing drone technology in modern warfare.
